We are the strategic and creative consultancy that blends global network agency experience, craft and rigour with small agency energy, agility and cost efficiency.
The Orange Panther Collective operates as "a small orange speedboat rather than an oil tanker," winning major clients by combining big agency thinking with the nimbleness established brands crave.
Every healthy brand and agency relationship is built on an aligned vision to make the most effective work, and a commitment to be an objective and supportive partner. Simon's role is to make sure we always stay true to our end of the bargain.
With 20 years in the industry working at some of the biggest global agencies, from M&C saatchi to Leo Burnett, via AMV & ENGINE, before leaving to set up the OPC, Simon cut his teeth working with the likes of McDonald’s, Guinness, the IOC, the BBC and Red Bull.
Whatever media a brand needs to utilise, Nigel’s role is to ensure that the creative expression of the strategic focus is both visually compelling and persuasive, to make sure that its audience notices and cares about it.
He has lead the creative departments of Ogilvy, Leagas Delaney, TBWA and AMV, and created campaigns for the likes of Bollinger, Guinness, Penfolds, Audi and The Economist. His work has made him one of the industry’s most awarded copywriters.
Before founding OPC, we spent decades with Omnicom, Publicis and WPP, helping steer many of the world’s most successful brands. But now our collective model frees us to build bespoke teams of specialists, wherever they are in the world and whatever a project requires. And because they’re dedicated to that project, we’re able to work faster and charge less. As a consultancy, we’re helping brands find ways to position and present themselves to a more receptive audience. And, when it’s required, we can also create and produce the campaigns that bring it all to life. So, if your brand is relatively young and wants to go more mainstream, or it’s an established one that needs to refocus and rediscover its mojo, get in touch. Or if you have the strategic, creative, media or production skills that would make you a valuable addition to our collective, let us know.
